Its possible OLPC might fund me if they decide to use FUDCon as a major meetup for their team as I've been assisting them with ARM bringup on the XO 1.75. I'm still awaiting a response/decisions on that.

Hi Peter
We plan to consider the international requests at the Nov. 23 meeting. Any chance we might know about the OLPC funding before then? Of course it would help us provide help to someone else if that came through but I'd also just like to avoid not knowing if they are likely to help when your ticket comes up for consideration. Any additional information would be great if it is available by early next week. Thanks.
Hi Peter,
Your request was granted at the 2011-11-23 fudcon subsidy meeting. Of course, if OLPC winds up funding you, we'd love to know that as well, I'm sure we can figure something out.
I'd like to get your airfare booked in the meantime.
Please confirm your flight info above, and let me know the airline, flight numbers, arrival/departure dates/times.
I'll also need your Full name, date of birth, address, and passport number. Feel free to send that to me in a private email.
Thanks, Robyn
Ticket was purchased. Total was $744.10 (a bit over, but we'll live - we came in very close overall with all the tickets.)
I'm closing out tickets - if you have any blog posts/trip reports/etc., can you link them in here?
Thanks!
